Status Updates From Het verhaal van Chirbet Chi...

ik zei dat ik ging bijkomen van het vorige boek maar we gaan gelijk door met deze knaller die Frederike me tipte en die denk ik mn hart gaat verscheuren

"WE SET OFF DOWN A TWISTING LANE, and as we snaked our way along it the village came to an end and there opened up before us a patch of grassy land fringed around with a few tamarisks, beyond which was the hedge of a plowed field."

-Yizhar, S. Khirbet Khizeh (pg. 62)

"WE WALKED SLOWLY in the muddy tracks of the jeep that revealed its acrobatic prowess by bouncing around on all fours in the ruts and mire, which after so many tranquil generations of bare feet and donkeys’ hooves were compelled to bear silently two scars along their entire length, bleeding mud and silence."

Yizhar, S. Khirbet Khizeh (pg. 35)

"We didn’t owe anyone a thing, we didn’t have to worry about a thing, and we didn’t care about a thing."

-Yizhar, S. Khirbet Khizeh (pg. 11)
